METROLINK TRAIN CRASH INJURES TWO PEOPLE IN OXNARD—CALL ACCIDENT INJURY LAWYERS NOW FOR FREE CONSULTATION
Last year, a Metrolink accident resulted in the injury of several dozen passengers. After an investigation of the incident, it was determined that the accident occurred because the conductor was text messaging on his cell phone and had been negligent in his duties. Some train accidents occur because of unfortunate circumstances that could not have been prevented—for example, extreme weather conditions or freak accidents. However, other accidents, like the Metrolink accident in 2008, are entirely preventable and can be attributed to the negligence of a person or company. In these kinds of situations, there may be legal remedies for the injured victims to obtain compensation.
On Thursday, August 27, 2009, there was another Metrolink accident in Oxnard. There was initially an accident on the railroad tracks involving two vehicles. Firefighters were trying to free an injured man from his vehicle when the train struck one of the vehicles that was left partially on the tracks. The Metrolink train stopped at the scene for more than an hour. No one on the train was injured, but the passengers in the vehicles were injured and transported to a hospital to be treated. In this circumstance, it is not entirely clear who was at fault in the incident, and would likely need to be investigated further.
